This has probably been asked before, but now that all deletes and smarty jr. is on board, is it ok to run alittle fuel additive now and then?

 

Sure is, I run regular slugs of Supertech 2 stroke. Bout 16 oz per tank/every other tank.

 

BC, I've heard about 2 cycle oil, but never used it. I have used Diesel Service gray bottle in my 97 ford ps. Could you refer me to what made you confident in 2cycle oil. Thanks in advance.

 

Well I really wasnt too concerned with cleaning, and gelling isnt an issue down here. I was more concerned with the lack of lubricity.

Did a bunch of reading and many guys are running the two stoke, and I figured that what could be better than a shot of oil that was designed to be burned anyway....

Good study here

Great info, thank you. Can you tell a difference in your truck? As far as idle, or sound of engine, smoothness (is that a word)???

 

To be honest its not that noticeable, just a bit of cheap insurance.

 

I will try it.....I have used Supertech 2 cycle oil in my 98 Yamaha V Max 200 since it was new.

 

Lot of people bash the oil, but I have used it in my weed trimmers, and blowers for 8-9 years, 50-1. We have up to 6 trimmers out, and 3 blowers, I own a Lawn care business.

 

Blake: it looks like Bio is the best lube , but its just readly available. Does anybody know the shelf life of bio diesel ?

 

Ashless 2 stroke oil, FPPF, and Power Service in my '06.

FPPF and Power Service in my '08.

No idea, bio is not common in my parts and I have never used it....

 

My truck gets 5% bio every tank as the local station blends. I also run FPPF Total Power every tank. No issues and I'm not deleted...yet!

 

Cool, let us know how it goes with the fuel/additives. Glad to see you made it over from the dark side there . Deletes and Smarty can be your best friend over here.

 

I pretty much average ~ 16.5 mpg with my normal driving. Haven't had it out on the highway long enough to run a full tank out to see how it does there.

I want to do the deletes...but I'll need to be ready to put a dual disk clutch in too .
